Global technology leader Google Inc. yesterday said it would begin imaging Sri Lanka for its ‘Street View’ service to create new views of the country to share with the world.

“Our attractions should go to digital media. This will allow more people to discover Sri Lanka and at the same time, allow people in Sri Lanka to explore new parts of their country online,” Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority Director General D.S. Jayaweera said.

The service provides 360 degree views and navigation of streets as if the viewer was walking down the road and can be accessed on Google Maps by using the ‘pegman’ icon.

Google Asia Pacific Director of Public Policy Ann Lavin, who had flown down to Colombo, expressed that the benefits of Street View to a destination couldn’t be overstated.

“After we introduced Street View, the Mayor of Pompeii said that there was a 25 percent tourism growth year-on-year,” she said.

Google Launches Interactive HTML5 Ad & Website Builder

Google+ like other social networks is a method to talk with consumers in a more personal and authentic manner. Like Facebook advertising, Google+ post ads are an attempt to build visible conversations and earned media. However, Google+ post ads have a clear difference as they do not sit within the Google+ social network itself. Instead these ads/conversations are able to connect across the two million Web sites that are part of the Google Display Network.

The new initiative (details below) has some interesting potential, particularly those who have established a Google+ presence. However, even with this new ad format, it’s unclear whether it will be enough to change marketers historical perceptions of Google+ as a relatively sedate and secondary option to Facebook, not to mention Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram and many others in the crowded social space.

DETAILS AND IMPLICATIONS

Toyota, Ritz Crackers and Cadbury UK (the first to gain access) are banking on the opportunity to turn their content into conversations and push it out to a wider network than just those who are part of their Google+ profile. Google are promoting this as the ability to amplify your (Google+) content across the Web. Yet, at the same time this will keep Google+ itself advertising free.


Three things to note:

• Google+ has 300 million users – technically the 2nd largest social network – but arguably much of this has come from Google’s single registration and log-in model. Google is trying to make Google+ more visible and relevant to the wider public as the platform hasn't achieved the user base it has desired.
• Advertisers gain the potential of more interactions with their Google+ content. This has an extra benefit for advertisers using social extensions in their Google Adwords in search. This extension shows the number of followers underneath the ad thus lending a social reinforcement to the brand (and ad).
•  The Google+ post ads are supposedly more interactive than traditional display ads, allowing one to “engage” with them by hovering a cursor over them for a couple seconds. This then allows you to leave comments, or do other things, like joining a Hangout.

What Toyota and others are hoping to take advantage of is not just the amplification but the ability to connect consumers to such ideas as the Toyota Collaborator - "customize a Corolla with your friends in a Google+ Hangout." Connecting Google+ followers to this content is one thing; showing it to the wider world opens up a whole new world of prospects.

These Google+ brands will gain more exposure to their content through the Google Display Network; Google gain more awareness of Google+ and its other features and consumers gain the ability to converse with brands across the different websites that they visit.
